Filter results

This topic describes how to filter and sort results when you're selecting results to open in the Windows Assessment Console.

If there's a long list of results to choose from, you can filter the results to quickly find the ones that you're interested in. Or, you can search for specific results by typing a keyword in the search box.

  2. In the Select Results window, click the plus sign (+) next to the search box.
